Ah yes, the classic talking points of….checks notes…. saying the conservative partys policies are bad. Interesting take. I’m going to go out on a limb and guess that you disagree that immigration is a factor in the housing crisis, right?
The deductible interest idea is actually a good idea, not just for first home buyers but for all mortgages. It massively helps ease cost of living pressure that is brought on by interest rates on housing. Many countries already do this btw.
Home ownership doesn’t attract obscene tax benefits.
You know what is an absurd tax? Land tax, which you’re advocating for making a standard and increasing.
Let me guess - you think communism works, it just hasn’t been done properly yet?
I didn't say all conservative policies are bad, I rebutted your assertions.
You don't really seem able to back up anything you're saying. It's all meme level vibe based reasoning.
Tax deductible interest on mortgages would just increase the cost of housing. Dramatically. Well done.
Land tax is well established as broad based with minimal compliance cost.
